    Why are all Macintosh users homosexual? Interesting question, not one of them is smart enough to install Linux on an intel box, much less a gay PPC gumdrop.

    The head of the Galactic Federation (76 planets around
    larger stars visible from here) (founded 5,000,000 years
    ago, very space opera) solved overpopulation (250 billion
    or so per planet, 178 billion on average) by mass
    implanting. He caused people to be brought to Teegeeack
    (Earth) and put an H-Bomb on the principal volcanos
    (Incident II) and then the Pacific area ones were taken in
    boxes to Hawaii and the Atlantic area ones to Las Palmas
    and there "packaged".

    His name was Xenu. He used renegades. Various misleading
    data by means of circuits etc. was placed in the implants.

    When through with his crime loyal officers (to the people)
    captured him after six years of battle and put him in an
    electronic mountain trap where he still is. "They" are gone.
    The place (Confederation) has since been a desert. The length
    and brutality of it all was such that this Confederation
    never recovered. The implant is calculated to kill (by
    pneumonia etc) anyone who attempts to solve it. This
    liability has been dispensed with by my tech development.

    One can freewheel through the implant and die unless it is
    approached as precisely outlined. The "freewheel" (auto-
    running on and on) lasts too long, denies sleep etc and one
    dies. So be careful to do only Incidents I and II as given
    and not plow around and fail to complete one thetan at a
    time.

    In December 1967 I knew someone had to take the plunge. I did
    and emerged very knocked out, but alive. Probably the only
    one ever to do so in 75,000,000 years. I have all the data
    now, but only that given here is needful.

    One's body is a mass of individual thetans stuck to oneself
    or to the body.

    One has to clean them off by running incident II and Incident
    I. It is a long job, requiring care, patience and good
    auditing. You are running beings. They respond like any
    preclear. Some large, some small.

    Thetans believed they were one. This is the primary
    error. Good luck.

  6. The real judge - has yet to be determined by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Open Source have some minor issues which do remind the Slashdot modding.

    If the Slashdot modding had to work as moderators inside of a REAL company, they'd having heavy reponsibilities, anything like tax a post by "Troll" and later correct the post by "5, Insightful" shouldn't happen anymore. They wouldn't do wacky things they believe were doing moderation inside each of their heads, they would do strictly what they have to do. I wouldn't have to write something like Wakko Warner - from "Troll" to score "5".

    Open Source programmers throw into their software what they want, to just review the bloat later. Nothing wrong with this, corrections do exist because errors also do exist, but for the corporate mentality if such were too big they'd believe that they're dealing with a madhouse, or that Slashdot is going MAD!!

    Corporate mentality exists all around the world and it tries to regulate Open Source and Slashdot, like Open Source software developers try to regulate other software developers, as Slashbots try to regulate us, anyway, these are things keeping the machine going on, and the machine cannot stops.

    Everything I wished to say is written above, now I can die in peace.
